Beautiful Blooms for December

{judy} One week gone from December already! Wow! I know that as I get older, I surely feel like I am on the fast train :)

I love seeing poinsettias all over town in stores and friends' homes. The deep red is such a beautiful color, and the white such a contrast. My favorite, though, are the pink poinsettias. Pink is my favorite color for anything, really, and I love the light pink petal blooms.

My card today is my submission for our Winter Holiday Challenge. This is our last challenge for 2016, so I hope you will play along!

I stamped the poinsettia image (Penny Black) using VersaColor Sand ink, and then embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder. I colored the poinsettia with Copic markers, and added Latte Pearls to the center. I stamped and colored another poinsettia to layer the middle on top.

I chose the beautiful Pearl Pink Grosgrain and pleated it for an elegant look, then lay some trim from my stash on top, and added more pearls. The sentiment is from Inky Antics and is stamped with Soft Sky (SU!) ink. Everything is held together with Scor-Tape.

I hope your December days are filled with beautiful blooms!

Pink Poinsettias Are My Favorite

Pink poinsettias are my favorite color of that flower. I love the boldness of the red, but the pink really is prettiest to me. So for my first December post, I decided to share this pink poinsettia! The image is from Hero Arts. I stamped it three times and embossed with White embossing powder, coloring with Copics, and then cut it out and layered it, adding Latte Pearls to the center.

The gorgeous Pearl Pink Grosgrain ribbon provided a beautiful "border".I added a little vintage trim from one of my "junk jaunts" and more Latte pearls. A little subtle sentiment from Inky Antics and all done!  Everything is held together with Scor-Tape.

What is your favorite poinsettia color?
Thanks for stopping by today!
